Keys to the season: Though Martino returns plenty of experience in McEntee, Varnell, Cirocco, Dewitt and Santos, the veteran Brewster coach will have to look to a new generation of players to help fill out his rotation. Nicodemo was only once held to under 10 points in game last season and 12 times topped the 20-point plateau so making up for his absence will be a tall order. Varnell came on strong at the end of last season, hitting for double figures in three of the Brewster's final four games. McEntee, Santos and Cirocco can all shoot from long range. The Bears open their season Dec. 9 at home against Hendrick Hudson. They will also play in Connecticut this season as they debut at the second-annual News-Times Holiday Classic at the O'Neill Center.
